I am curious as to how you came up with 371 days upon the ark.
Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month ...
Gen 8:14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
2/17/600 - 2/27/601
The months are lunar.
The count, would be from 2/17/600 - 2/16/601 with a remainder of 11 days.
12 months * a mean of 29.53 = 354.36 + 11 days = 365.36 days upon the ark.
Noah was upon the ark for a solar year.
I Googled it and found an answer at ask the Bible girl dot com. Much of my current eschatology is riding on her good scholarship. Even if i did do the heavy lifting myself, I would still Google the heck out of it for verification purposes.
On my first search page I found numbers like these:
378
370
370
377
371
I think the 378 number includes the seven days that Noah was sealed in the ark before the flood began. Your 365 day number would also work but would mean great tribulation would begin January 5/6, instead of New Years eve. The 371 number has a much better logical fit with the "darkened" sun.

I'm also looking at this thing pompadour said about the season of the locust, May through September, I Googled that one too.
Some thing for you to ponder is the statement Jesus made in Mat 24 mark 13 and luk 21 about the end time. ( But for the elect sake those days have been shortened ) Past tense. The decision has been made back then.
Then in Rev. I think it's 9 or 12 It talks about 5 months and the season of the Locust. May through Sep. ( also 5 months )
Daniels 7 yr trib. may have been changed to 5 months. Things could go down very quickly.
We could have the first four trumpets, 1) January, 2) February, 3) March, 4) April. Then the 5th trumpet from May through September. Finally, the four angels are released October through December and the Fig Tree sheds it's winter fruit during the first week of January.
Things could go down very quickly. The last three months would be insane.
BTW: Welcome to CB Dave Watchman.
Thank you Richard.
Peaceful Sabbath.
